가톨릭 '세계청년대회' 2027년 서울 개최 서울 WYD 준비는?

Welcome to Issues and Insiders.
Seoul has been named the host of the Catholic Church's next World Youth Day in 2027.
For more, we're joined by Reverend Kim Se-jin.
Thanks for joining us.
And we also have our Kwon Soa.
Good afternoon, Soa.


1. Soa, what is World Youth Day? Tell us what this event is all about.

2. Rev., You were in Lisbon earlier this month for World Youth Day 2023.
What was the atmosphere like there when the Pope named Seoul as the next host? Surprised? Excited?

3. Soa, this year's event took place in Lisbon.
What cities have staged the event in the past? And how big were they in terms of scale and number of participants?

4. Rev., Why do you think Seoul was designated as the next host?
How significant is it that the 2027 edition will take place here in this city?

5. Soa, walk us through the process how Seoul was chosen as the next host?
What does it take to become the host of the event?

6. Rev., what efforts has the Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul made in order to be named as the host in 2027?

7. Soa, let's talk about the festivities.
What kind of events and activities will there be during the festival?
What can participants look forward to?

8. Rev., I heard the six-day event in Lisbon was full of events and activities.
Any particular moments or events in Lisbon that stood out for you? Any memorable scenes?

9. Soa, then how is the World Youth Day event more than just a religious gathering?
What societal and cultural influence does this World Youth Day event carry globally?

10. Rev., the Pope himself is also set to visit the South Korean capital too.
It would be his second visit to the country after he came in 2014.
In what way is his visit meaningful?
What message did the Pope give in Lisbon this time?
What message should we expect from him in Seoul?

11. Soa, it's not just the Pope.
We're expecting up to a million people to attend the event, with around 200,000 to 300,000 of them from abroad.
How much of an economic impact can we expect in 2027?

12. Rev., in what way do you think Seoul needs to be cautious and extra mindful with regard to hosting the event in 2027?
What challenges are ahead?

13. Soa, the 2027 edition will take place around this time of the year, when the weather is going to be just as hot as this year or even warmer.
How should the government prepare for the event considering what we went through with the Scout Jamboree this year?

14. Rev., any word of advice or comment you'd like to give with the 2027 event in mind?

Alright, Rev. Thanks so much for your insight.
Soa, thank you for joining us this afternoon.
